There's a Bug Going Around

As I was taking part in the FoR challenge last month I wasn't able to post photos taken during that month so I am now posting some from a couple of weeks ago.

David was doing a spot of gardening one day and said 'Here is a photo opportunity' Of course, out I went with my camera and took a photo of this bug. No idea what kind of bug it is, but it does look quite pretty.

@pusspup I have been doing a bit of research and wonder if it might be a spotted flower chafer, what do you think?

@onewing - Fab close up and amazing detail Babs, I had to look it up, the large V shape on its back intrigued me. A beetle species called Spotted Flower Chafer Here is what I found on the internet https://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_scarabs/SpottedFlowerChafer.htm

[Babs]

@sprphotos Yes I agree with you. I did some research too and above I replied to @pusspup with the same suggestion. I think it is a spotted flower chafer too. Thanks for your input.

I think it is a spotted flower chafer and Sylvia @sprphotos checked it out too and she thought the same. Always good to be able to identify insects.

[Jacqueline]

Wow!

[Helen Jane]

Looks like a cross between ladybird and beetle. A fine photo. You trained David well.
